I've posted a short tutorial which describes a floating toolbar, toggled with a hotkey, that places text into the clipboard. Useful for frequently posted text in web forums and emails.
This is great, thank you very much for this tutorial 
Exactly what I need 
I also thank you Steve,
Yes, it really is a brilliant idea.
I plan on using three or four of them.
They can supplement my "testing canvas" toolbars as well as be the new medium you suggest.
My first button using Steve's floating toolbar ideas.
Clipboard SET I'm Scred and You're Not !
Toolbar NAME=*this CLOSE

Hi all,
I agree it's nice to learn how to do such stuff with Directory Opus, so thanks for the tutorial.
However, I prefer to use Autohotkey for this kind of functionality; check out http://www.autohotkey.com. It provides a lot more flexibility in creating these kinds of string replacement and custom actions based on global hotkeys. But then, that's is the core business.
I think Autohotkey and DOpus are the two biggest efficiency-boosters on my PC. So if anyone has good ideas on how they can be combined to extend each other, please post!
But, as I said, as a tutorial for what's possible in DOpus, it is of course welcome. As so many people state: it's amazing what you can do with this app.
Regards,
Marcel
I have just found this, and I'm very taken with it ... thanks for such cleaver idea!
Instead of creating a special tool bar for it, you can add a menu button to an existing tool bar, and then add the text snippets as menu items 'off of' this tool bar. In order to use it, you can then simply click on the menu button and select the desired text/code from the items that that cascade from it.
If you use this approach you need to omit the 'Toolbar NAME=*this CLOSE' from each snippet in order to prevent the 'home' tool bar from being closed every time you select one of the snippets.
Hope this is of use to someone!
